Label text from “The Art of Collecting: Contemporary Prints from the Risa Gerrig Collection,” September 10 – October 12, 2014:
Wesley creates a dizzying pattern of blue fish, evocative of decorative wallpaper or a playful optical illusion. This work achieves this decorative narrative through the use of a limited range of colors and its overall flatness, echoing a Pop Art aesthetic. Arranging the fish in a grid format allows the blue negative space to come forward and compete for space in the foreground. - Shelby Miner (B.A. '15)
